WNTTAK (We Need to Talk About Kevin)

Welcome back to We Need to Talk About Kevin, the podcast about the movie WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN. On today's episode, we have an in-depth discussion of Lynne Ramsey's 2011 psychological thriller WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN. Also SONIC THE HEDGEHOG.

We hope you have a wonderful April!

Leslie Lee III of Struggle Session joins us to talk RED STATE, Kevin's unidentifiable attempt at a horror movie or maybe a police procedural. It's really bad don't watch it, do something cool instead.

It's Comic Book Month on We Need to Talk About Kevin! We've assigned ourselves the grim task of reading all of Kevin Smith's nauseatingly bad runs on superhero comics. To kick things off, we're discussing Kevin's first embarrassing foray into the comics medium with our friend, returning guest Chris Woodward! It's called DAREDEVIL: GUARDIAN DEVIL and I'm not even going to try to describe in pithy terms how shitty it is. I'm getting mad all over again just thinking about it now. It sucks so much!

Chris is the co-host of the children's media podcast Parents Just Don't Understand, which you can find at https://soundcloud.com/parentspodcast/ or on your podcast-listening app! He's written fine articles for Blood Knife such as this one: https://bloodknife.com/saint-maud-review/ and you can follow him on Twitter at https://twitter.com/cww_0

Valerie is back, which means we all had to watch Kevin talk about his dick on stage for four hours, and you get to hear all about it! I'm screaming on the inside.

Special guest Jack Allison, host of JackAM and Struggle Session, joins us to lament the truly awful 2008 flop ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO. Prepare to be blasted with a heavy load of Kevin Smith's weird sex hangups in this bizarre snapshot of late-00s comedy. Seriously, don't watch this movie.

That's right, folks, it's the JERSEY GIRL episode! We know you've all been waiting for this one. Everyone remembers JERSEY GIRL, right? Kevin Smith's heartwarming story of fatherhood and loss was nominated for three Razzies, but lost in all three categories to FAHRENHEIT 9/11.

Speaking of the Razzies, check out Rose's latest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuG3iolSDvo

Listeners beware! This podcast is not for the faint of heart! Horror aficionado Leslie Lee III is back for a bone-chilling new Halloween episode of We Need to Talk About Kevin! We're talking HOLIDAYS, a horror anthology film you've probably never heard of, notable for including a frightfully awful contribution from the spookmaster himself, Kevin Smith. Plus, on a terrifying new Kevin's Receipts, we explore some truly hair-raising tales from Kevin's sordid past. Tune in... if you dare!!

And of course you should also be listening to Struggle Session, available at https://soundcloud.com/strugglesesh or wherever you get your podcasts, and subscribe at https://patreon.com/strugglesession

Happy Halloween!!!

Jesus Christ. I don't even know where to begin with this one. This comic is very possibly the worst thing that Kevin Smith has ever done. A deeply sexist, cynical, ugly piece of exploitation. Kevin had an opportunity to make a Spider-Man comic, and instead of aiming for a fun and breezy little adventure, he had to go and make it all about rape. Just awful. What a nasty little man. We hate his fucking guts.

The name of the guy that Trevor couldn't remember is Bob Hawk.

Well, folks, this one is dark. The time for fun and games is over. We've crossed the threshold into the land of shadows and there's no turning back. What was once a puzzled fascination has curdled into a grim and mournful task. There is no catharsis here, only damnation. YOGA HOSERS is a deeply cursed film.

In this episode of BATMAN BEGONE, we get pedantic as hell about Batman Begins and pick apart all of its confusing, contradictory political and moral themes. We also address important questions such as:

-What the fuck is Rachel's problem?

-How is it possible for Christian Bale to suck so bad in this movie?

-Is it ever okay for a dude to beat up his own mom?

Stay tuned for our expert analysis of The Dark Knight, coming November 1st!

The Batman Begone theme was composed by our good friend, commie synthpop artist Intellectual Dark Wave! You can find more of his fine music at https://intellectualdarkwave.bandcamp.com and https://www.youtube.com/intellectualdarkwave or follow him @IntellectualDa8 on Twitter.

Bonus episode: Originally a Patreon exclusive released on December 13, 2020, now unlocked for the first time!

Well here you go, I did it. I listened to SModcast and it was really boring and shitty like I expected. Not sure if anyone will actually want to hear this, but here's the proof in case you don't believe me. I'm a man of my word! Happy holidays.

Musician/writer Ryan Torgeson joins us to discuss a comic "co-written" by Kevin, which apparently means that Kevin pretty much didn't write it at all. It's very obvious that he had almost nothing to do with this one, and we all thought it was okay. Anyway, check out Ryan's stuff!

The final chapter of our six-part miniseries BATMAN BEGONE, setting the record straight on the one and only definitive critique of the Dark Knight Trilogy. As a tribute to Christopher Nolan, this episode starts to fall apart about halfway through and devolves into a complete mess!

Theme song blah blah intellectual dark wave etc

In order to gain a complete understanding of Mr. Smith's failings as a filmmaker, we occasionally need to venture outside of his oeuvre and analyze the work of a true cinematic genius. I'm speaking of course of the great Canadian auteur, Tom Green. In Green's sublime debut FREDDY GOT FINGERED, he displays a supreme mastery of the raunchy comedy genre that places the flaws of our namesake in sharp relief. A truly original voice with a bold creative vision and unparalleled performance skills. We may have found our modern-day Chaplin.

Merry Christmas, assholes! We went and did a big old podcast crossover with the hosts of Parents Just Don't Understand, returning guest Kurt Schiller and newcomer Chris Woodward! That's right, there's five of us on this damn thing, and we all have different opinions about the stupid ass Grinch cartoon, which we argue about a lot! We do this because we love you! Also Kevin Smith's friend helped direct the Grinch movie or whatever, so that's why we're talking about it on here, okay?

Go listen to Chris and Kurt's podcast Parents Just Don't Understand where you can soon hear all of us talking about another children's cartoon (one that's actually good)* and don't forget to read http://bloodknife.com the finest online pop culture magazine in existence!

*UPDATE: Over a year and a half later, the PJDU episode we recorded concurrently with this one still hasn't been released, but it should be coming any day now. Stay tuned!

Surprise! It's a bonus bite-sized episode of our Patreon-exclusive miniseries BATMAN BEGONE! On this special sneak peak, Rose tells us all about the evolution of Baneposting, her experiences posting on 4chan, and why THE DARK KNIGHT RISES is quite possibly the true founding document of the alt-right.

here it is, as promised. i'm sorry and/or you're welcome.

BATMAN BEGONE is BACK for an epic crossover event with Vera Drew's HOT TOPICS podcast! Trevor and Vera gush about ZACK SNYDER'S JUSTICE LEAGUE for two and a half hours in the ONLY Snyder Cut podcast you need to hear!

Well, folks, we really blew it. We've been lucky enough to have future legendary filmmaker Vera Drew (Beef House, The People's Joker) on the show twice so far in season 2, and both times we bungled the recording! So rather than let all that time and effort go to waste, we cobbled together this supercut of all the best bits we were able to salvage from each of these failed episodes. First we discuss VULGAR, a truly disgusting, abhorrent work of filth from Kevin's friend Bryan Johnson, and then we talk MADNESS IN THE METHOD, the strange, cathartic directorial debut from Jason Mewes.

You can follow Vera at https://twitter.com/veradrew22 and find out more about The People's Joker at http://thepeoplesjoker.com

In 1997, auteur filmmaker Kevin Smith shocked the world with CHASING AMY, a groundbreaking story of queer romance in the world of comic books, and earned himself a spot in the pantheon of LGBTQ+ cinema. On an inspirational new episode of We Need to Talk About Kevin, we all learn an important lesson about love and acceptance from this breathtaking classic.

originally released Oct 1, 2020

Welcome to the premiere episode BATMAN BEGONE, our exclusive six-part miniseries in which we offer you the ultimate, definitive, objectively correct critical analysis of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy! In this episode, we set the stage with an overview of the trilogy and then try to identify as many positive things as we can about the 2005 film that started it all. In part two, coming October 15th, we'll take a take a closer look at Batman Begins and its many flaws and attempt to decide whether it's worth saving or if we should simply let it explode in a fiery train crash.

The Batman Begone theme was composed by our good friend, commie synthpop artist Intellectual Dark Wave! You can find more of his fine music at https://intellectualdarkwave.bandcamp.com and https://www.youtube.com/intellectualdarkwave or follow him @IntellectualDa8 on Twitter.

Hey, it's your two favorite guys, Jay and the other one, together again in extremely shitty, ugly animated form. This is the kind of garbage that only truly committed Kevin Smith scholars would even dare to watch. That's right, it's JAY & SILENT BOB'S SUPER GROOVY CARTOON MOVIE!

Bryan Quinby aka MurderBryan, host of Street Fight Radio, joins us to talk about COP OUT, Kevin Smith's lackluster contribution to the buddy cop genre. Folks, we hated this movie almost as much as Bruce Willis hated starring in it. Tune in for the sordid details of Kevin's on-set feud with his leading man, and stick around to hear his epic clapback against the nasty movie critics.

Welcome to the season premiere of We Need to Talk About Kevin! It's a new year, which means it's also a new month, and that's a month that we call BENUARY, a special monthlong celebration of the great Ben Affleck. On our first free BENUARY episode, we've brought in our friend Evan MacDonald from the great movie podcast Kino Lefter to talk about Ben's starring role in DAREDEVIL, which also features a very forgettable cameo from Kevin Smith!

We're back again to talk more shit about THE DARK KNIGHT, a movie about how it's good to lie to people, because people are good but they're stupid and if they know the truth they might become bad, or something like that. It doesn't make a lot of sense.

Listen to Intellectual Dark Wave at https://intellectualdarkwave.bandcamp.com or https://youtube.com/intellectualdarkwave or probably any other music place you like. You can also follow him @IntellectualDa8 on Twitter.

We're joined by special guest Kurt Schiller to unpack Kevin Smith's star-studded Bible adventure, DOGMA. We try to figure out what, if anything, this film has to say about Catholicism, and Kurt lends his expertise as a New Jersey native to help us understand the mythical state that molded Kevin into the manchild he is today.

Wow! It's a very special season finale of We Need to Talk About Kevin featuring none other than Matt Christman from Chapo Trap House! It's been a long, regrettable journey, but we've finally reached our destination. We watched Kevin Smith's most recent (and hopefully last ever) movie, JAY AND SILENT BOB REBOOT, and our esteemed guest is here to help us decide whether it's the best or worst movie of his miserable career.

Thanks for listening, everybody! We're taking a hiatus for the sake of our mental health, but there's still plenty of Kevin-related garbage left to sift through, so we'll see you all in season 2! Maybe.

What's this? Can it be? A new episode of We Need to Talk About Kevin? In which we share our long-awaited takes on that He-Man cartoon that everyone stopped caring about several weeks ago? Featuring who else but our favorite bona fide children's entertainment aficionado Kurt Schiller??

Yes, that's right, the wait is finally over. The official, definitive WNTTAK review of a cartoon that some people were mad about for a day or two and then completely forgot nearly two months ago, is here at last! And it's a good episode, because Kurt is on it!

Should I link to all of Kurt's stuff? You guys know Kurt, Blood Knife. Parents Just Don't Understand. Loving husband and father and an all-around superb guy! It's Kurt!!

I forget how to write these episode descriptions. Look, Jesse Farrar aka Bronze Hammer, the author of that classic tweet about the wriggling jam, is on our podcast, to talk about a stupid Die Hard movie that Kevin is in! And it's a pretty good episode I think! I'm very tired.

Fellow Affleck appreciator Ev from Dumb Bitch Media is back for BENUARY! With Ev's help, we compare Young Ben to Current Ben, debate the merits of Smart Guys vs. Dumb Guys, and discuss the finer points of Bostonian culture. And yes, unfortunately, we also talk about Kevin.

Welcome to We Need to Talk About Kevin, a podcast in which we investigate the life and works of filmmaker Kevin Smith and attempt to figure out what, if anything, is going on inside his brain. On this inaugural episode, your hosts, Ted, Rose, and Trevor, take a look back at the movie that started it all, 1994's black-and-white cult classic CLERKS and try to determine whether or not it's worthy of its reputation. Plus, we revisit Kevin's most infamous Twitter post.

Inevitably and regrettably, we expand our scope beyond Kevin Smith the filmmaker and into the equally upsetting world of Kevin Smith the comic book writer. Niel Jacoby, host of Spall Talk and Mature Listeners, helps us unpack the painful experience of reading Kevin's two consecutive Batman series, Cacophony and The Widening Gyre.

Our good friend Kurt Schiller makes a return appearance for a very special episode in which we discuss something that we actually liked and only sort of involves Kevin. SOUTHLAND TALES is an incredibly weird, audacious, operatic mess of a movie that we all fell in love with and had a great time talking about. It also features a brief appearance by filmmaker Kevin Smith.

Writer/photographer/erstwhile podcaster Abdul Y. Malik joins the Kevin crew to analyze the utterly pointless MAGNUM DOPUS: THE MAKING OF JAY AND SILENT BOB REBOOT. Were you dying to learn the inside story of how and why Kevin Smith's latest film was made? Of course not. Nobody was. But Kevin is addicted to talking to a camera, so here's a whole documentary about it.

We're back, and we're discussing the profound emptiness of MALLRATS, Kevin Smith's sophomore film about a couple of whiny jerks who go to the mall to yell at their ex-girlfriends. Why does this movie exist? Why did we all watch the painfully long extended version? And why does Ted keep insisting that he actually liked it? None of these questions will be answered on this week's episode of We Need to Talk About Kevin!

The picture that we talk about in the Kevin's Receipts segment can be found here: i.imgur.com/L9ZlUZ6.png

Well folks, apparently AMC aired a reality show all about Kevin's boring friends running Kevin's vanity comic shop, and it's every bit as dull as it is fake. Inexplicably, it ran for seven seasons. Seven seasons of this garbage! For this week's episode, we watched as much as we could stomach of COMIC BOOK MEN.

As BENUARY draws to a close, we take on the seminal Kevin-adjacent horror classic PHANTOMS, with a little help from genre fiction experts Karlo and Pete from Podside Picnic! Is Affleck truly "the bomb" in Phantoms, or is the only "bomb" here this damn movie (in the sense that it performed very poorly with critics and audiences alike!)?!

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear! Just when you thought there couldn't possibly be a more terrifyingly twisted villain than the dreaded Joker, the masked madman known as Bane has arrived in Gotham to mesmerize us all with his confusing ideological gibberish. This guy is so damn nuts he makes the Joker look like freaking Scarecrow!

Why does every single cop in Gotham go underground at the same time? Why does Talia al Ghul wait so long to blow up the city? Who the hell is Bane anyway and what exactly is his whole deal?! You will NOT find the answers to any of these burning questions here or anywhere else. But at least we tried!

Your old pals Dante and Randall are back on the big screen in the long-awaited sequel to the movie that started it all. That's right, folks, we watched CLERKS II, and we all hated it! Trev thought that Rose and Ted were going to like this one, but he was dead wrong! We're beginning to suspect that Kevin Smith might be a huge idiot who sucks at making movies.

We're joined by very special guest and fellow Kevin Smith scholar Valerie (aka StealingValerie) to chat about the short-lived TV show CLERKS: THE ANIMATED SERIES. Everybody liked it except for Trevor because he's a grumpy old curmudgeon. We also briefly discuss the aborted pilot for a live-action Clerks sitcom, which nobody liked. Later, in Kevin's Receipts, we talk Weight Watchers sponcon and Feige juice.

We recorded this like a week ago and I already barely remember what the comic was about. I know there were multiple cunnilingus scenes but that's about it. I'm pretty sure we all agreed that it wasn't as bad as the other Kevin comics we've read but still pretty bad. Trevor's old pal PJ joins us on this one to lend share of his vast Green Arrow expertise.

PJ is on Twitter at https://twitter.com/proctorjsemhaus. He says he doesn't want followers, but you can reach him there if you need to contact him for some reason.

For the first time in the history of the podcast, Rose, Trev, and [Edward] talk about a movie that Kevin Smith had absolutely nothing to do with. Don't worry, we'll be back next week with more god-awful Kevin material. But BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC is just too important for us not to talk about, and it provides a perfect counterexample to pretty much every shitty thing Kevin has ever done.

The world's leading Kevin Smith scholar, Valerie, returns to WNTTAK to help us break down an excruciating piece of performance art called KEVIN SMITH: TOO FAT FOR 40. It's basically just Kevin on a stage talking about taking a shit for OVER THREE HOURS. And if that's not enough, Valerie also brought along some juicy excerpts from Kevin's obnoxiously-titled memoir "Tough Sh*t: Life Advice from a Fat, Lazy Slob Who Did Good."

In part one of our analysis of THE DARK KNIGHT, we explore the warped mind of the scariest villain in all of movie history, in a heated debate that threatens to tear us apart!

Our good friend Valerie is back again, to suffer through another excruciatingly long Kevin Q&A session with us. AN EVENING WITH KEVIN SMITH is almost four hours long and absolutely packed with rambling stories that go nowhere.

BATMAN BEGONE RETURNS for a spine-tingling, hair-raising Halloween Spooktacular edition all about BATMAN RETURNS, which is technically a Christmas movie but don't worry about that, just work with me here, okay? To make things even more bone-chilling, we summon our dear departed friend Valerie from beyond the grave, calling upon her ghostly form to help us digest this big old Halloween treat of a spooky Christmas-themed Batman movie. Yes, you heard right, Valerie has passed on and is a ghost, so that's why she sounds like that. That's how ghosts sound and there's nothing that could be done about it, but luckily it's on theme. You won't hear us make any mention of the fact that Valerie is a ghost or that she sounds weird though because it's rude to talk about that stuff in front of ghosts. Just enjoy the show, okay? HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Phase One of the View Askewniverse comes to its momentous conclusion in the pre-9/11 comedy classic JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK. Rose and Ted have their high hopes shattered by this irredeemable mess of a movie, and the future looks bright for #TeamTrev. Also, Kevin Smith wants you to know that he's NOT a homophobe.

The full text of Kevin's incredibly long response to GLAAD can be found here: http://www.seanbaby.com/news/glaad4.htm

I always hated writing these things. You know what this is, I don't need to explain it.

This was recorded in November, 2022.

We're back! On the probing and incisive season premiere of We Need to Talk About Kevin, we dig into Kevin Smith's heroic origin story and learn the names of all the individual creeps responsible for giving him a career. Yes, apparently there is a feature-length documentary about the making of CLERKS and we watched it on purpose.

Our buddy Kevin made a guest appearance on The Simpsons, so we felt obligated to watch it and talk about it. Turns out Kev was only on it for like a second, but that's fine. It was a very funny and cool episode about weed and we all enjoyed it a lot. Check it out if you love weed!

It's "Rose Week" on We Need to Talk About Kevin, and we're mixing it up with a special Rose-hosted episode inspired by some recent bad tweets by our esteemed colleague, the Movie Bob. He posted some very stupid takes about the Amazon Prime Original Series THE BOYS and we are here to offer the correct ones. Also: we talk about some other stuff too!

In 2005, at the height of Kevin Smith's devastating power, he hijacked a Canadian cultural institution and used it to live out a twisted personal fantasy in which he effortlessly seduces a girl he used to watch on TV in the 80s, and also befriends a bunch of children in the process. This is the kind of shit they let Kevin get away with up in Canada. No wonder he's so obsessed with that place! Of course we had to bring in our Canadian friend Abdul Malik, host of the Off Court Podcast and part-time Degrassi expert, to help us sort out this psychosexual nightmare.
